Anyone here studied or studying in overseas now such as America, Australia, UK,Canada or anywhere around the globe?
Mind sharing your experience with us? as in how are the people over there? their lifestyle? how are they treating you? are there any racists? do you have alot of friends? are most of your friends your race(chinese,malays,indians) instead of white people and black people? are you happy with your decision to study overseas? do you regret for not staying back in Malaysia to continue your studies? do you get homesick every now and then? what's the difference between studying in overseas and studying locally?
List out what course, what college, which state, which country that your studying or had studied in and share your experience with everyone.
Come on everyone share your experience!
I am studying BSc Maths with Physics at University of Southampton at Southampton, England. Before that, I done a foundation at Cambridge Regional College at Cambridge, England.Mind sharing your experience with us? as in how are the people over there? their lifestyle? how are they treating you? are there any racists? do you have alot of friends? are most of your friends your race(chinese,malays,indians) instead of white people and black people? are you happy with your decision to study overseas? do you regret for not staying back in Malaysia to continue your studies? do you get homesick every now and then? what's the difference between studying in overseas and studying locally?

During the time, I learned so much about the way of society works, government's policy, philosophy of life, etc. I try to not exaggerate too much but I seriously feel I learned more than my 5 years of secondary school. The reason I could think of is because when we experience different culture, it allows us to compare the both. It really opens up our prospective.
Racists do exists, but it has no way to avoid it unless we people mix enough to have same skins.
Academic-wise, I think local education is more intense (ie chemical eng need to learn programming language, islamic, moral, etc). The UK study is less intense, however it is not in my case due to the nature of my degree.
After all, students life are mean to be happiest or at least should be happiest. Make sure your study life is a memorable one.
